Apparently your Park Lands will be subject to even more disruption and damage next November, with yet another motor racing event being planned by the State Government.
Your Park Lands are hit annually by fencing, noise and damaging carbon emissions from (a) V8 Super cars, and (b) Sprint cars in November and (c) the Motor Sport festival in March.
Now, the Government is reportedly backing yet another motor sport event that would go off bitumen and tear up swathes of your Open Green Public Park Lands. |
